Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix
Russ, it is my belief that the idea behind any torque spec is that it is applied when no "pull in" stress is being applied. Does it matter too much for keel bolt? I don't know. 2 the 8 of mine are under the mast so I'm not going to torque the bolts very often but when I do it will be as "proper" as possible.

Not sure of the pros and cons of either way, but I always torque the bolts prior to splashing the boat...as do the members of my club, as far as I have observed.

Re: Stus-List Teak interior steps
I varnished mine and applied stick-on treads about 7 years ago. Looks professional, and no one slips. One of the treads is finally showing wear and can be easily replaced. After 7 years I’m tempted to re-do the entire thing but there’s no need.

Re: Stus-List Teak interior steps
Hi Bev, we varnished our entryway steps and added some of the abrasive material that was suggested. They are holding up well and not slick. You could pattern the abrasive section on your last coat and make it pretty custom. We did discuss the adhesive backed abrasive products but went for the varnish. I hate to slide all the way into the galley on my keister. > On Feb 10, 2019, at 7:48 AM, Bev Parslow via CnC-List > wrote: > > Cleaning the teak steps up but how do I finish them? Should I varnish?
